The Haavara Agreement: Circular 54/1933 of the Reich Ministry of Finance, August 28, 1933 By Richard A. Widmann codoh/library/document/892/ Published: 1933-08-28 They dont teach this in the history books. The Haavara Agreement was a pact between the Nazis and Zionists regarding Jewish emigration from Germany during the 1930s. It is the only contract between an official Third Reich authority and a Zionist organization. This agreement is considered to have benefited the interests of both parties. Haavara was intended to promote both the emigration of German Jews and the export of German products to Palestine. As a result of the Agreement, German exports arrived in Palestine at bargain prices with the help of Jewish capital and Jewish commercial assistance. The Agreement also made it possible to settle a large number of German Jews in Palestine. Goods worth a total of 139.5 million Reichsmark were transferred by 1939. Only the outbreak of war in September 1939 ended the transfer practice. Richard Widmann
